Our Beloved National Religion: Secular Humanism

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

Do any of you know how fun it is to butt into a conversation after you’ve just heard “pure communism is such a great system; it’s a shame that it just has never been executed correctly”? I used to pray for boldness, but I fear that I have been given a bit too much. After spending 4 years in a very liberal public university and a summer in Seattle, every good little socialist’s favorite city, I’ve become quite, uhm, unrelenting and aggressive when it comes to asinine ideological stupidity. This amuses me, but I should be more careful. It’s sort of difficult to be a witness of Christ’s love when you come across as a belittling, elitist philosophical tyrant. I really need to find a way to reconcile my love of analytical discussion with my call to serve as Christ’s ambassador… On the other hand, I really wish more Christians were less passive when it comes to defending the faith. Granted, the truth needs no defense, but it is an enormous opportunity to be able to point out how and why the philosophies of the world are dead wrong. College is a particularly depressing liberal wasteland. As it is, most otherwise reasonably intelligent students simply become the mindless drones of the “intellectual” elite. They regurgitate whatever bile they suckle from the teats of the God-hating establishment.
